APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Per PMR 50671,379,000
  
  ================================================================
  Date reported: 02/08/2012
  
  Severity: High
  
  Users Affected:
   All IMU users of MU V3.2
  
  Problem Description:
   1. User is getting file IO error CODE=41 on synchronized file
      process (file match) for empty files (files with no records
      in them).
  
   2. Users are complaining about Sequence Error message on when
      one file is input to synchronized logic.
  
  
  Problem Summation
   The CLOSE is not issued for files in open state when there are
   no records in the input file due to 'F' in the &FILE-IOSW.
  
   The 'F' is plugged into the &FILE-IOSW in the synchronized
   file logic to delay the read to facilitate the 'read ahed'
   for duplicate records.
  
  Problem Conclusion:
   1. The EXTRACT macro was changed to force COLSE on empty files
      that reached end of processing logic, i.e, the an 'O' is
      inserted into the &FILE-IOSW to mimic open state and issue
      file CLOSE.
  
   2. Sequence check logic was disabled when a single file is
      input to synchronized logic (file match).
  
  
  Changed Macros in FSOFT01.V2R2M0.SFSYFJCC
   EXTRACT - existing macro

  ****************************************************************
  The CLOSE is not issued for files in open state when there
  are no records in the input file due to 'F' in the &FILE-IOSW.
  
  The problem occurs on REPORT quantitative fields when DB2
  column name is exactly 16 characters and the same column
  name is a definition of 10th or higher DB2 table in the
  program. I.e., when more than ten (10) DB2 tables are
  declared in the program.
  
  Every quantitative field &field is redefined with a
  &field-Z to provide a way of spacing out entries on total
  lines.  The extra -Z increases the field name size to
  maximum of 31 characters because the DB2 columns prefix
  is generated with Qnn- instead of Qn-.
  

Problem conclusion

• The 'F' is plugged into the &FILE-IOSW in the synchronized
  file logic to delay the read to facilitate the 'read ahed'
  for duplicate records.
  
  A change was made to the DEFINE and GENERATQ macros
  to append Z instead of -Z when name goes over 30 characters.
